Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop the vegetables

    Dice the bell peppers, zucchini, and onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the chicken

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and season with salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add vegetables

    Add the diced bell peppers, zucchini, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 5

    Mix in beans and spinach

    Stir in the black beans and spinach, cooking until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 6

    Combine quinoa

    Add the cooked quinoa to the skillet and drizzle with soy sauce. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate and garnish

    Serve the skillet mixture hot, topped with sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese if desired.
